With the rising use of mobile devices, multi-factor biometric authentication is fast becoming an accepted method for enhancing security and preventing identity theft and fraud. However, choosing the right set of biometric factors (such as voice, face, palm and fingerprint recognition), finding the best system, and continually maintaining it can be a major challenge. Many organizations are looking to add biometric security but aren’t sure where to start or how to roll it out to large groups of users. DXC gives your organization quick access to a powerful combination of biometrics, passwords, one-time codes, public key infrastructure and other techniques to help you focus on areas of the business that need higher security. ConfidentID as a Service will give your organization greater certainty over traditional authentication methods such as passwords, PINs and one-time-password token key fobs. ConfidentID as a Service also gives you greater flexibility. Standard authentication factors with ConfidentID as a Service include: Face Voice Fingerprint Palm Blink/Liveness Location This solution provides dynamic security levels, enabling you to set higher authentication requirements based on your company’s risk management policies for accessing data or performing high-value transactions. ConfidentID provides real-time fraud analytics, not alerts based on incidents that occurred in the past. Your organization learns about potential fraudulent activity as it occurs.

ForensicChef β€” mobile forensics and data transformation toolkit Quickly import, inspect, transform and export forensic captures and text data on your iPhone or iPad. Build repeatable "recipes" of operations to automate parsing, decoding, filtering and formatting so you can reproduce results reliably and share findings with colleagues. Key features: Import from files or clipboard: accept raw capture files and text (PCAP, base64/hex dumps, CSV, JSON and plain text) via the Share sheet or clipboard. Reusable recipes: chain operations (parse, filter, decode, extract, format) into named recipes that you can save, run and modify. Lightweight operations: common forensic helpers such as hex/base64 decode, timestamp conversion, field extraction, regex search/replace, and CSV/JSON formatting. Secure local exports: export results to local files for secure sharing or archival; temporary-file export ensures reliable access for the system share sheet. Reproducibility: save, export and version recipes so analyses can be repeated and audited. Privacy-first: all processing occurs locally on-device; nothing is uploaded without your explicit action. Who it’s for? Mobile forensics practitioners who need a portable tool for quick parsing and triage. Security analysts and incident responders who want reproducible, shareable transformations of capture or text artifacts. Developers and researchers who need a compact playground for testing parsing and data-extraction logic. Getting started Paste or import a capture/text into the Input.
